A very interesting pair of halberd Fangtian (Ji) Chinese that came out of an old collection that I admired for many years. The collector got these maybe 50 years ago, he was in his 90s when he passed. They are well forged very massive made for display am sure probably from the Victorian Period when these type things where all the rage.

A interesting Yao Shaman’s Ritual dagger with talismanic writing. It has a Dao Buddhist Command and states that it is Laozi’s Spiritual Sword.Could be from Southern Yunnan ,Western Guangxi or Northern Vietnam. Hilt wrapped in embroidered silk double wrapped with red silk outer layer. A very intriguing artifact with significant cultural meanings.

This is a very interesting ring dagger clearly of Chinese origin. This example is in untouched original condition with its original sheath. This is a deadly sharp dagger that’s all business! I can imagine some bandit wielding this dagger. The hilt feels real good in hand, the cord wrap is just fantastic.
